I have a beautiful collection of them as well as the buttery yellow color touches my heart. I have to disagree with Tete as the buffers were not for your shoes, rather were fingernail buffers to shine your nails without the use of polish by bringing the blood to the surface under the nail.Everything else is right on target....hope your got your jacket??? Please let me know.<br />xojanaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697361722084536219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876699709761054448.post-34942989669553167452011-02-15T08:46:45.487-08:002011-02-15T08:46:45.487-08:00I see you have your answer that they are celluloid...I see you have your answer that they are celluloid...I have a beautiful set with little blue rhinestones that were my grandmothers. She was married in 1928 and I believe it was something she received then or around then, but not sure. They are treasure.<br /><br />xox RellaRellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495607544220476246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2876699709761054448.post-48500757941635195872011-02-15T06:57:28.788-08:002011-02-15T06:57:28.788-08:00What a find!

The buffers are for your shoes- to take the dust off of them and shine them up. <br />Baby comb for sure.<br />Manicure set, some for women and some for men. Little hook is a button hook.<br />Shoe horn is for ladies boots. <br />They are very old.<br />And yes- the letter opener is mother of pearl.<br />Celluloid was the first plastic.<br /><br />Hope that helps- TeteTetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06697150195734655635noreply@blogger.com
